Pulled out washing machine, this is what we found.

We moved in to our house 4 years ago. Previous owners where there for 7 years, and bought from new.

Yesterday we had our washing machine replaced. Couldn't believe my eyes once they had got the old machine out. Take a look at the photo. Shame our washing machine didn't pack up two years ago, house would have still been under gaurantee.

Yes it was a new build. Too late for me to make a complaint.

The awful thing is that on paper I expect the people responsible for this have more qualifications than some of the excellent practitioners on this forum. (albeit gained in a matter of weeks). Still, they satisfy the office ****ers so they can tick their boxes that all is well.

Shocking. What were the first owners thinking let that go and not complaining or did they have work done?

Generally the house is OK, built 2007 before I think the real corner cutting started. There are still bits that you look at and go that's poor workmanship, but not as bad as the current lot of new build we hear about.

Your right it's shocking. Washing was probably already installed when they moved in. Part of the package.

It would be good if you could meet the builder/developer and let them see it, just to ask face to face if they think it is acceptable and if they would allow it in their home?
